[ashbury]

Good to see him. I hope we raise his ERA...

Watch the Burdi!

 

[cmoss84]

BTW, that twice-five one was composed by Douglas Hofstadter. Take it up with him.

 

Douglas Hofstadter.

I will take it up with him.

What a freakin jerk.

[Aggies7]

Haha this pirates team is not good.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Runner on second,

nobody out, a preview

of extra innings.

FTFM

[MVP Nick Punto]

Do Burdis Arraez early around here?

[Aggies7]

Cruz gonna be swinging out of his shoes

[Aggies7]

Haha that should not have been a win

[70charger]

Woooooooo!!!!!!!

[70charger]

 

 

Walk off incoming. How do I know? A little Burdi told me.

Wow. You win too.

[ashbury]

Winner winner!

 

[DocBauer]

There we go!

Only for earworms...

[MVP Nick Punto]

Burdis are fast, but they can't keep up with Cruz control.

[Diesel]

Cruz! 8-2!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winner winner!

I'm hungry...

[Squirrel]

I do want Burdi to succeed ... but glad his success wasn't just now

[DocBauer]

Sometimes they fall in your lap. But you take all of them! 3 more to go and then on to KC.

[Squirrel]

 

CRUZ!!!! Not sure why you would pitch to him with 1st open

Because Sano was on deck?

[ashbury]

Haha that should not have been a win

We've been on the receiving end of that kind of inevitability for the better part of a decade. Felt sweet to treat it as "just a matter of time" tonight.

 

[70charger]

It's a walk off

 

[AlwaysinModeration]

They had that one all the way.

[operation mindcrime]

1/6th of our season in the books. On pace to go 48-12!

[ashbury]

Good night. Good thread everybody.

[FlauerPauer]

 

This would be a total steal of a win

 

The kind of win that good teams get...

[Mill1634]

 

Because Sano was on deck?

You're not helping my point. Sano is much more likely to strike out/pop out/double play than Cruz is.

[Mill1634]

Twins win! 

 

Wasn't exactly pretty, but Alcala showed some flashes and Wisler looks like a nice find. Timely hitting (finally), and tough at bats down the stretch.

 

Signature updated to the BIG 20!!

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins!!!

I agree 100%. I was watching at a buddies house for the early part of the game and while I was getting pissed that they couldn't do anything against Holland, I turned to him, maybe in the fifth inning, and was said the Twins are going to get going and win this game. Couldn't say that for a loonnnnggg time.

[FlauerPauer]

Cleveland lost to the Reds. Looks like the Sox are going to pick up the W in Milwaukee.
